Frank Lautenberg: “I am pleased to see the DOT taking such a rapid response to a terrible situation.”

The IRS must be funded at a level that enables it to provide necessary taxpayer assistance and to enforce the laws.

I am deeply concerned that recent cuts to the IRS budget are jeopardizing its ability to carry out this vital mission.

Do you consider IRS's current strategy for dealing with identity theft and refund fraud to be adequate? No.

I believe it is time for this subcommittee and others to give serious thought to the way the IRS is funded.
